What? You never got around to booking your tickets to Sochi? Which means you missed the opportunity to party with Olympians while having your smartphone hacked by Russian cybterthieves? Lucky for you it’s Beer Week in San Francisco, and two of Bernal’s finest establishments are hosting special beer-themed events.

We start at the Precita Park Cafe at the east end of Precita Park, where Miss Dana invites you to a special beer + food event happening TONIGHT, February 10:

Adam from Deschutes will be onsite giving away free swag to customers and talking about the beers. For those that need Uber rides we have teamed up with Uber and Beer Fest. Customers first ride is free up to $20 if customers use the password PPCBEER. We will be serving beer-battered fish n’chips, pork terrine, grass fed burgers, chili cheese fries. All the fun foods that go with great beer!

Meanwhile, on glamorous 29th Street, Brion from the drinktastic Rock Bar has an entire series of Beer Week events on tap:

Speakeasy Tap-TAKEOVER
At Rock Bar we have 4 handles, and we pride ourselves in our curated & rotating selection. For the evening we have given our friends at Speakeasy control! We can’t tell you what will be on TAP – only can assure a few things you have never tried before. PLUS after some time away, we re-introduce our Speakeasy CASK handle!

Thursday Feb 13th 7pm-2am
Oskar Blues & 21st Amendment
Cocktail Night & Tap-TAKEOVER
Another evening of BEER & COCKTAILS here at Rock Bar
From a simple YELLA Collins to a full throttled Spirituous BEAST with 21st Amendment’s Sneak Attack. You would not expect a Saison in the winter, but you can expect Genever and Rye to meld well with the Cardamom Pods used to brew this seasonal brew. An evening of Vintage SURF films and mellow vibes with accompany your beer forward cocktail.

UPDATE: In the comments, Neighbor Steve of the Beer by BART blog, brings news of one more Beer Week happening in Bernal Heights:

There is one other bar, Holy Water, on Cortland that is also playing. They are dedicating all their taps to Avery Brewing all week. Avery is one of the best breweries in the U. S., out of Boulder, CO. I stopped by last night and the beers are great. Several have never been poured in CA.

  2. Hi Todd,

    Steve Shapiro here. My wife Gail and I live on Andover St. We started the BeerByBART.com blog 7 years ago. We also write about craft beer for the Celebrator Beer News (Celebrator com).

    Thanks for today’s post about SFBW events in Bernal. This is the first time Bernal has really stepped up for the celebration.

    I’m sure they would appreciate a shout-out.

    Thanks much

    • Wow, thanks Steve(and Gail) for that awesome blog. I will be sure and bookmark it for handy use. Also love the downplay about writing for the Celebrator, the world’s #1 beer publication. Like saying “I sometimes write about sports……for Sports Illustrated!!”

      Anyway, I made it to BOTH of the tap takeovers on Saturday night on Cortland. The Lucky Horseshoe also had a tap takeover, by Sierra Nevada brewing. Nothing too special from them except the Ovila Quad with Plum – and it was an excellent belgian quad I must say. However, I was itching for the Avery offerings just up the street at Holy Water. These were truly impressive, with the Maharaja Imperial IPA stealing the show.

      Cheers!

      • Thanks for your kind words, Smiley! I missed Lucky Horseshoe’s listing on sfbeerweek.org. We made our suggested list of events for the SFBW sight a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps Lucky posted after that. Love to see our nabe finally getting good beer.
